Frequently Asked Questions About the Batik Holiday Tree Set
-
What comes in the Batik Holiday Tree Set, and how big are the trees?
The set has three carved wooden trees in graduated heights of 9, 13, and 16 1/2 inches, each on a sturdy square base. It is $69. Grouped together, the three heights create a natural centerpiece for a mantel, console, or dining table.
-
What is batik?
Batik is a wax-resist dyeing technique closely tied to Indonesia, especially the island of Java. Indonesian batik is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, meaning it's a time-honored, traditional art style passed down from generation to generation. Artisans draw a pattern in hot wax, apply dye, and the waxed areas resist the color. Repeating the process builds up layers of pattern. On these trees, the batik is applied by hand to carved wood instead of cloth, so each tree's pattern is different.
-
What is sengon wood?
Sengon is a fast-growing tropical tree that is widely planted in Indonesia and harvested in short cycles, which makes it a sustainable choice for carving. It's light in weight and color, so the batik patterns stand out clearly against the natural wood.
-
How should I style the tree set?
Line the three trees up from tallest to shortest on a mantel, or stagger them at different depths on a table so they look like a small forest. They pair well with SERRV's Batik Reindeer or Batik Snowman for a coordinated set, and the neutral wood tones also blend with greenery, candles, and white lights. They are not tied to Christmas imagery, so they can stay out through winter.
-
Who makes the Batik Holiday Tree Set?
It is made by artisans working with Apikri, SERRV's fair trade partner in Java, Indonesia. Apikri supports craft development in areas where farmland and other jobs are scarce. Every purchase provides income to the carvers and batik artists who make each set.
